It's important to do a LOT of research when thinking of plastic surgery, and going to consultations and meeting with surgeons is a big part of that. I'd already been to several other consults and Dr. Miller at Tulsa Plastic Surgery was last on my list. He came recommended from a friend of a friend and had excellent accreditations.
However, I just was not impressed. The office had a cold, sterile doctor's office feel to it. Dr. Miller was very kind and thorough in explaining the procedure to me, and was patient with all of my questions. It was obvious he'd done many, many surgeries and knew what he was doing. I don't question his abilities at all, but there were several things I didn't like about his practice.
My biggest complaint, and when I decided I was definitely not going with him, was after he completed the examination. He and his assistant basically just told me, "Okay, here's some drawers of different implants and there's some bras you can dig through to find one that fits - just try on what you want and go see the financial counselor across the hall when you're done. Have fun!" ...uh, what? I don't know anything about implant sizing, placement, different shapes, etc. But, I guess I was supposed to just stick random implants in my bra, see which ones I liked, and that's what he'd put in my body? I'd been to several consults before Dr. Miller, and each time an assistant (or the doctor himself) stayed and helped me figure out the various options and what looked best. I literally didn't know what to do, so I just got dressed and left the room without trying anything on.
The financial counselor let me know they were running a "$300 off special" until the end of May, which was another red flag to me. Plastic surgery is not something you want to bargain shop for and, in my opinion, a good surgeon doesn't need to offer incentives for people to use them.
All in all, I'm sure Dr. Miller does great work for a lower price tag than some other surgeons, but he's not for me or anyone who is looking for a more personable experience. read more
